The business is well established and has enjoyed considerable year-on-year growth with continued expansion realistically forecast. The company now seeks to recruit an experienced Bookkeeper, a permanent position offered on a part time working contract circa 2-3 days per week with flexible working to suit the successful candidate.

Working closely with the Managing Director, this will be a pivotal role that would be well suited to a highly commercial Bookkeeper that will contribute to the continued growth of the company.

Applicants will ideally be part/fully AAT qualified as a minimum, but those with demonstrable vocational experience will be given equal consideration. The business promotes a modern working environment making the most of current technology; this role would suit a candidate with strong IT aptitude and excellent skills in the use of Sage, MS Excel and bespoke digital accounting tools.
